What are your river baits?

[BassHunter69]

Thanks for all the help!  Ranger58 I have been eyeballing Strictly Bass Stuff for a while now.  I have fished the river by Tanners and on the other side at Eagle Creek and I could fish in my driveway and do better.  I might be giving it a try on the Oh, WV side  rumors are going around that it takes 15lb to win a pot tourney! We (OH,Ky and In fisherman) mostly use smaller baits and grind out 5 bites.  I looking for that little bit of information that makes you say "Why didn't I think of that"

Grape, are you asking in reference to

?

Our predominate food source for our smallies in the Susquehanna and Juniata Rivers is crayfish.  Goliac7 fishes the same rivers I do and hit it on the head.  There are some native minnow species that are in the rivers that the bass eat, but most of their diet is crayfish.  But you will see more swimbaits being used (2.5-4" sizes)
